Chapter 47 Football 47 Devouring
The most despairing moment is witnessing the shattering of all hope.
Amanominaka stared silently and desperately as Suoh activated "Synchro," his last line of defense crumbling as Suoh Koki followed his instincts.
Everything unfolded exactly as he had envisioned, without the slightest deviation or change of course.
This time, I've truly been abandoned.
The synchronized movements made Tenno Minaka feel a slight unease.
He had initially held onto a sliver of hope and a tentative approach, but the moment Suoh Hyo-hee and Kiyoseki high-fived, all his lingering hope vanished without a trace, along with their promise that dissipated like a bubble.
Too……
Tenno Minaka clenched his fists tightly, as if trying to squeeze out the bitterness and resentment in his heart.
He lowered his head, his eyelids drooping, feeling an unprecedented sense of frustration and powerlessness.
He wasn't the one who wanted to be number one in the world.
That was Suoh Koki's dream; Ten no Minaka was merely a passerby who was forced to agree.
Meanwhile, Suoh Koki and Kiyoshi, using Synchro, faced off against Kira Ryosuke, the core of [Maintenance].
Kira Ryosuke lightly touched Suoh Koki's chest with his elbow, a bright and confident smile playing on his lips, and provocatively said, "Yo, Koki, you might not be able to beat me this time."
Suoh Koki's emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, scrutinizing Kira Ryosuke swiftly and deeply, like a cheetah examining its prey.
He could clearly sense the enormous change in Kira Ryosuke.
Speed has increased, muscle lines are taut, revealing unprecedented explosive power.
Could it be that the playful, self-serving implications of Blue Prison can actually unleash human potential?
Wang Xiaoxi secretly grumbled to himself.
There were more than just the two of them on the field.
Suoh Hyo-hee decisively passed the ball to Kiekichi beside her. The movement was fluid and precise, as if the two shared an unspoken understanding.
Upon receiving the ball, Kiyoshi keenly observed the subtle shifts in the game. He saw that Kira Ryosuke and Suoh Koki were still locked in a stalemate, both stiff and rigid, presenting a perfect opportunity to break through. With a deft flick, the ball flew precisely towards Hiraku Kai, who was not far away.
Hōraku was already poised to strike. The moment he received the ball, he instantly shook off the defender and dribbled lightly toward the opponent's penalty area. Unfortunately, he ran into Kira Ryōsuke again.
Kira Ryosuke instantly closed the distance between himself and Hive with astonishing speed. Before Jei Suoh, who was about to intercept him, could fully adjust his position, he nimbly turned around and steadily blocked Hive's path.
"Yo!"
He greeted Beehive in a friendly manner.
Feng Lehui's expression was no longer his signature cheerful smile, but instead a stiff and serious one.
Wow, so fast!
Kira Ryosuke's sudden appearance brought a great deal of sense of crisis to Hello!
what to do?
Kira Ryosuke has already figured out the "monster's" position, and no matter how many passes I make, I can't break through. Plus, his speed...
Am I really leaving here?
In the bright golden eyes of Beehive, the figure of Suoh Hyoki was clearly reflected.
King Sumeru has already begun to change. Should I follow suit?
Whom will be changed? Me? Or the monster?
Beehive's heart clenched suddenly. The wind from Kira Ryosuke's running ran through his body like an electric current, his muscles tensed involuntarily, and his gaze was inadvertently drawn to his thighs, causing him to lose focus.
The player's instincts quickly took over his reaction, and his eyes refocused on the black and white ball.
The sudden panic turned into smooth dribbling, the ball seemingly becoming a part of his body, bouncing nimbly on his heels, prompting Kira Ryosuke to sigh softly, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, mixed with a sense of challenge.
"Not bad, but that's all you can do, isn't it? I've seen through your 'monster' nature."
Players from Team W and Team Z converged like a tide, amidst fierce collisions and urgent footsteps, rushing towards the most intense part of the field.
Their figures intertwined, some abruptly stopping in their tracks, trying to block every potential breakthrough; others pursued relentlessly, their eyes gleaming with a desire for victory, unwilling to let any opportunity slip through their fingers.
Team W and Team Z formed a circle, leaving only Kira Ryosuke and Hina Raku in a one-on-one battle.
It seems that only the winner can gain possession of the ball for the rest of the team.
"Go! Beehive, show that kid your true strength!" Raishi Jingo's voice pierced through the crowd as he dealt with Tenno Minaka while keeping an eye on Beehive out of the corner of his eye.
Amano Minaka frowned and stepped back, calculating the distance between himself and Raishi Jingo with each step to avoid unnecessary physical contact.
"Ryosuke."
The moment Kira Ryosuke heard his name mentioned, he snatched the ball from Hiroki's control and, without hesitation, accurately passed it into the distance.
Without looking back, I, Yamaru, charged towards the direction of Amano Minaka. Raishi Jingo reacted just as quickly, turning around almost at the same time and pressing towards Amano Minaka's location with all his might.
Even so, they were still unable to completely stop Tennominaka's actions.
Tenno Minaka moved nimbly, adjusting his posture in mid-air. The black and white soccer ball seemed to be guided by a thin rope, stopping steadily in front of his chest.
"Don't get too cocky, everyone."
Amano Minaka's voice was cold and impatient, each word seeming to emanate from an ice cellar. His golden eyes gleamed strangely in the light, and his handsome face now revealed a chilling aura, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"It's just one ball."
"Stop Kira!"
Kujou decisively gave up on continuing to harass W team's number 7 player and turned to rush away with Kira Ryosuke.
The black and white ball narrowly missed Raishi Jingo's cheek, whistling as it landed steadily at Kira Ryosuke's feet.
Without hesitation, Kira Ryosuke raised his foot and kicked with all his might. The soccer ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and headed straight for the goal.
With a loud "bang," the net trembled.
7:1
The score gap was once again relentlessly widened.
Amano Minaka chuckled, casually resting one hand on his neck. "What a pity. You were just a hair's breadth away from experiencing my 'headshot' service."
The sound of the football exploding as it swept past still echoed in Raishi Jingo's ears, temporarily impairing his hearing. He had to tilt his head slightly to catch the other person's words.
"Did you do this on purpose?"
Amano Minaka's smile couldn't hide the sharpness behind his words. He denied it, saying, "How could that be? I'm not the kind of person who gets a yellow card easily."
Raishi Jingo was burning with rage and was about to rush towards Tennominaka without regard for anything, but was stopped in time by Gaijimaru Gin who was standing to the side.
My voice, steady and calm, rang in his ear, carrying a soothing quality: "Calm down, Raishi. If you act impulsively now, you'll likely be the one who suffers the consequences."
"The God of War has made it clear that he doesn't want to use this tactic with us, and I don't want to lose another player."
My words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the anger in Raishi Jingo's heart. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
The game continues.
Team Z's Kunishin Rensuke kicks off and passes to Hōraku.
After receiving the ball, Feng Le glanced out of the corner of his eye at the white figure rushing towards him.
I don't want to repeat the same mistake.
Unwillingness and determination burned fiercely in his eyes.
I'm sorry, [Monster].
He silently recited it in his heart.
Feng Le resolutely abandoned all distractions, including the 'friends' who had always been by his side. His steps were firm and resolute, each step reflecting his desire for victory.
Kira Ryosuke keenly noticed Hōraku's change in position and immediately took up the "Monster" spot, waiting for Hōraku to pass the ball. However, Hōraku seemed not to see him at all, dribbling forward without turning his head.
Kira Ryosuke was taken aback by the resoluteness and focus of the man, but he immediately accelerated his pursuit at an even faster pace.
The contest between the two reached a fever pitch.
Ryosuke Kira's left foot was pressed tightly against the football, as if trying to embed it into his body; while Ryosuke Kira's right heel was firmly pressed against the other side of the football.
The two were locked in a silent battle of strength, and the air was thick with a tension so intense it was almost frozen in place.
Their golden and light brown eyes met at that moment, and a thick black mist silently spread, isolating the two of them from the world around them.
The football, which held the fates of the two men together, finally succumbed to the pressure, escaped their tight encirclement, and rolled out of bounds.
Beehive was bent over, panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, sweat streaming down his forehead; while Kira Ryosuke kept wiping the fine sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, his eyes gleaming with an indomitable light.
The black and white ball goes out of bounds, and Team W gets to play the ball out of bounds.
As they passed each other, they caught each other's burning gazes out of the corner of their eyes. They raised their arms and gave each other a high five; they shared a common obsession.
"Let's bring this banquet to a climax."
"ah!"
Suoh Hyoki received the ball thrown by Naruho Asahi from outside the penalty area and approached the W team's goal area.
Amano Minaka was tightly defended by Gaijimaru and Raishi Jingo, while Kira Ryosuke seemed to still be immersed in his previous clash with Hiraku, and his attention had not yet fully returned to the game.
There was no one on the field to stop Suoh Hyo-hee's shot.
Just as Suoh Hyo-hee was about to unleash his fatal blow, his entire body's strength focused on a single point. At that very moment, the black and white football deftly slid from his feet, piercing through layers of defense and accurately reaching Kiyoshi Il's feet.
The plot is exactly the same, only the actors playing the roles are different.
Suoh Hyo-hee stared blankly at the grass beneath his feet, his green eyes somewhat vacant.
Upon receiving the ball, Jie Shiyi didn't hesitate for a moment. He pushed off the ground sharply, pulled his right foot back, and then swung it forward with a powerful flick. The ball traced a perfect arc in the air, heading straight for the top corner of the goal.
That was a black sun powerful enough to devour everything!
Cracks appeared on Suoh Hyo-ki's expressionless face.
7:2
As Jie Shiyi watched the football go into the net, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and a twisted and eerie smile appeared on his lips.
So, you (Suoh Hyo-hee) have been devoured by me.
His gaze then turned to Kira Ryosuke, who was surrounded by the W team like a star, and he was the next target to enter his hunting range.
The former powerhouse (Suoh Hyoki) has been devoured by you, so the next one will be you!
Jie Shiyi's eyes were filled with the greed and excitement of a hunter. His fingers unconsciously increased their pressure, digging deeply into his delicate face.
The faint red scratches on his face were his way of trying to suppress the surging emotions that were about to burst forth from his heart.
-----------------------
Author's note: After Jie devoured Suzaku, the next step is for Suzaku to devour Jie.
And soon to appear are the constantly breaking defenses of Ten no Mi and the gradually evolving Suoh.
Waaah, updates will be a bit irregular for the next few days. I've been so busy lately, so sorry everyone! (Hands clasped in prayer)
